CAPE HART Now that the seasons are-all that any one could wish there is likely to be an abundance of fine tomatoes this year. We trust that the Can nitng Girls will be encouraged to can large quantities this season. The following is the method of canning tne celebrated 4-H Brand: The tomatoes are picked from the vine as they begin to ripen and are placed on a shelf in the shade until thoroughly ripe. Only ripe tomatoes are selected for canning. Tne otner iruit not so well I ripened and colored may be used for ketchup or soup mixture. One green or light-colored tomato will ruin the grade of t the pack. The tomatoes which have been se lected are first scalded by placing them in a light wire "basket and plunging into boiling water for one minute, then removing and plunging into cold water immediately. The skin will now .slip off easily. Toma toes ferment quickly; so it is not ad visable to peel more than may be canned at once. A slender sharp knife is used to re move any part of the stem and the hard part of the tomato at the stem must be taken in this process not to cut into the seed cells Now put into the cans as many whole tomatoes as possible, cutting the fruit only when they are too large to slip in or the can is too nearly top, press them in gently, and shake down to fill all crevices. A level teaspoonful of salt and a level teaspoonful of sugar added to one of the No. 3 cans will improve the flavor of the product. Use no water with tomatoes. If the can is properly filled the Juice will De SUniCltSllt. V V JJ.CU. LllC v,,xx io iiiwv in this manner it should weigh 38 ounces. The can is now capped and placed in the canner of boiling water, where it remains for 3 minutes. This forces all the air in the can out through the little hole in the cap and keeps the j can from bulging, afterwards. When the .3 minutes are up, the little hole is sealed and the can is then boiled in the canner for 25 minutes. The label is not put on until the can is to be marketed, as the pack age thus gives a much fresher and neater appearance. Card of Thanks - !

Vote for Officials GRANT -HARRIS MARRIAGE MISS IRMA GRANT THE HAND SOME BRIDE OF MR. JOHN PEARSON HARRIS The marriage of Miss Irma Grant to Mr. John Pearson Harris at the elegant home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Long, on Gilliam street at nine o'clock Wednesday evening by Rev. S. K. Phillips was a very pretty af fair, but only a limited number of very close friends and relatives of the contracting parties were present by invitation. It was the 'wish of the young couple that the wedding be as quiet as possible, and not until they were married and well on their way north the following neatly engraved cards were mailed to their numerous friends in Oxford and elsewhere: Mr . and Mrs. William Jackson Long announce the marriage of their niece Miss Irma Grant Mr. John Pearson Harris on Wednesday, June the seventh nineteen hundred and sixteen Oxford, North Carolina The bride is an exceedingly hand some and accomplished young wo man, possessing rare traits of char acter. Since childhood she has made her home with her , uncle, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Long. Mr. Harris, who claims such an accomplished and pretty bride, holds a responsible po sition with the First National Bank of Oxford and is a member of the firm of Harris & Crews, managers of the Orpheum Theatre. The happy young couple have long been sweet hearts, and while their marriage was a quiet affair, it was in no wise a sur prise to their host of friends. Mr. and Mrs. Harris are now cn a extended bridal trip north and will probably not return before ten days or two weeks. THE OXFORD LIBRARY New Lot of l-ihakespeare's Plays At a recent meeting of the Shakes peare Club the treasurer reported that after paying all expenses inci dental to the presentation of the play "A Mid-Summer's Nights Dream' given in Oxford under its management, on May 12 th, there was a balance of $6.50 As the entrance fee charged at the play was for defraying the heavy ex penses of special costumes, and not for the purpose of making money, it was unanimously agreed by the club to invest the small balance cleared in something which would be of com munity interest. After some discus sion it was decided to purchase a good edition of Shakespeare's plays in separtate volumes and place same on the shelves of the Oxford Library The treasurer was instructed to order these at once. To The Voters of Granville I sincerely trust that every voter in Granville may feel how deeply I appreciate their support in the past primary and that I deem it a favor to be called upon to serve you in any manner that may lighten your bur den. You have been loyal to your choice, and in that, I appreciate the spirit of American independence. In closing I earnestly hope no one may feel that I harbor unkind feelings for the support rendered my. opponent. I shall earnestly endeavor to give you my best service.

DARK PLACES SOME THINGS THAT WE HAVE OBSERVED IN OLD GRANVILLE There is a Wonderful Difference in Some of the Neighborhoods in the County Three Things Are Needed In Some Places In our occasional trips over the county we have noticed what a won derful difference there is in neigh borhoods. We were reminded that good neighbors are like every other good thing it costs something to have it. The best people cannot stand to live long among lawless, wicked peo ple. There are three things essen tial to every good community, a good church, a good Sunday school and a good day school. If any one of these things is lacking or inferior, that community is behind. If we want to find a good church and Sunday school let us go where they have well sup ported day schools and there you will find them. And we know a great many churches and Sunday schools . are dragging for the want of better day schools. A good day school de mands a better and more intelligent preaoher. The day school gives a church more intelligent teachers and pupils for Sunday school work. A good day school gives what is called community interest. It means furnishing a place where boys and girls can be . trained and developed into good men and women. And the saddest of all is there are few such places. It would make good reading matter if we had written out what every man and woman in our, county would regard as an ideal com munity. We are sure the best people would insist on one or more good churches and in each church a Sun day school and in each church a good, well supported pastor . with learning sufficient to teach the con gregation the truths of , the Bible from the pulpit every time he preach ed. The next would be a good day school with money to pay model teachers to instruct the children for at least seven or eight months in the year. In such a community the peo ple have few, if any, suits in court. Sabbath-breaking, profanity, durnk enness and lawlessness are almost unknown. OXFORD COLORED SCHOOL Trustees Elect Prof. H. H. Faulkner Superintendent The trustees of the Oxford Graded Schools at a recent meeting elected Prof. H. H. Faulkner, of Greensboro, superintendent of the Colored Grad ed Schools. The new Superintendent comes highly recommended. All the teachers serving last year were re-elected. CONFEDERATE VETERAN PASSES Mr. M. S. Overton, of Near Hester Passes to His Reward Mr. M. S. Overton, a follower of the immortal Lee, passed to his re ward last Sunday in the 70th year of his age. Mr. Overton was a high ly esteemed citizen of Granville. The funeral and burial services were held Monday and the interment was at the old Hunt burying ground near Hester, Rev. M. D. Hicks performing the last sad rites. The pall bearers were: Messrs. J. C. Pittard, E. L. Crews, W. A. Hester, Will Haskins, J. M. Haskins and George Clay. - . Card of Thanks To the People of Granville County: A deep sense of obligation and re sponsibility impells me to use this public means of thanking the people of the County for the high honor they did me in the primary of last Satur day. I am grateful for the Demo cratic nomination for the House of Representatives, and my heart is too full of. appreciation towards those who voted for me to leave room for any ill will towards those who were for the other men. I hope to be able to so serve all the people of the coun ty as to show them that my apprecia tion goes deeper than mere words. DENNIS G. BRUMMITT. Miss Eunice Crews, the talented daughter of Mr. Herbert Crews, of Watkins, has returned from Enfield where she taught school last session. r i I r t
